KYB #2: Kamen Rider

Know Your Brick: Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー)

Kamen Rider, also known as the Masked Rider, has nothing to do with Japanese Ramen. The TV series was a hit in the 70s. The story was basically about an altered human, which can change form (Henshin!) into Kamen Rider and fight evil in the name of justice.

Kamen Rider rides a motorcycle called Cyclone, and wears a Typhoon Belt which is also his energy source. This Kubrick figure features KR version 1 wearing a red scarf.
